PTSD/Trauma
Cecelia Myers
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC (North Carolina), LPC (Georgia), LPC (South Carolina)
Trauma is experienced differently for everyone. What is identified as trauma is also subjective. Trauma can actually change brain chemistry. Understanding how it affects the client now and why they are experiencing the symptoms can help in the process of coping and living with the trauma.

Heather Avery Grant
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in CPTSD from childhood and prefer working with people who are old enough/experienced enough to have had at least a couple of significant adult relationships. Once you can see your patterns, I can help you figure out what's working, what's not, and what you'd like life to feel like going forward. We can use EMDR to lessen your trauma responses and take the edge off of those childhood memories. We can use reparenting strategies to help you fill that void from all your unmet needs as a child. And if you need to make changes to your relationships with family of origin, we can do that, too. You deserve calm, peaceful, joyful days ahead. Let's get you there!

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, can't relax, or struggle to trust people, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats trauma and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

PTSD/Trauma
Dr. Cierra Listermann
Psychologist, Ph.D., HSP-P
Trauma can affect the way you see yourself, relate to others, manage emotions, and experience the world around you. Whether your trauma stems from a single event or ongoing experiences, I help clients understand the lasting impact of trauma responses, process painful experiences, and challenge beliefs that may keep them feeling stuck. Therapy focuses on helping you regain a sense of safety, control, and connection with yourself.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD can affect your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and ability to feel safe even after the traumatic experience has ended. Symptoms such as intrusive memories, avoidance, hypervigilance, guilt, shame, and emotional distress are often the brain’s attempts to protect you after trauma. I specialize in evidence-based PTSD treatment to help clients process traumatic experiences, reduce the impact of symptoms, and regain a greater sense of freedom and control.
Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD)
Complex trauma often develops from repeated or ongoing experiences that impact a person’s sense of safety, identity, relationships, and emotional regulation. C-PTSD can affect how you see yourself, trust others, manage emotions, and navigate relationships. I help clients understand these patterns through a trauma-informed lens, process the impact of their experiences, and develop healthier beliefs, boundaries, and coping strategies.
